Used 2021 Genesis G70 for sale 

The 2021 Genesis G70, just like that of the 2020 model, comes in a total of three trim levels, namely 2.0 T, 2.0 T Manual, and 3.3 T. All these trim levels are well-packed with features with sufficient engines. Except for the 2.0 T Manual that offers only rear-wheel-drive, we get the option between a rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive drivetrain for the other trims. Another change is the discontinuation of the 2.0T Sport trim which was not that popular. The 2.0 T Manual comes in only as a rear-wheel-drive model and prices at around $38,600.

The range starts from the 2.0 T trim level, which has an MSRP of $36,000 for the RWD model and $38,000 for the AWD model. The base trim gets features like high beam assist, intelligent driving modes, lane-keeping assist, 18.0-inch alloy wheels, 12-way power-adjustable driver seat, forward collision assist system, and smart cruise control. The range-topping trim level is the 3.3 T, which starts at $46,200 for the rear-wheel-drive model and $48,200 for the all-wheel-drive model. This trim level also boasts the powerful 3.3-liter engine as the power source.

But to get the most out of the Genesis G70, go for the range-topping 3.3 T trim level priced at an MSRP of $46,200, which not only loads of added features and technologies but also gets the more powerful and enthusiastic 3.3-liter engine, which makes a big difference compared to the 2.0-liter engine found on the base trims.

The 2021 Genesis G70 comes with two engine options, which include a base 2.0 liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine and a bigger 3.3-liter V6, which is available only with the range-topping trim. The base 2.0 liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine produces 252 hp and has 260 lb-ft of torque on offer. The more powerful V6 pumps out an impressive 365 hp and 376 lb-ft and is insanely cheap for the power it offers.

The V6 equipped AWD trim of the 2021 Genesis G70 can be yours for $48,200 whereas similarly priced German counterparts are still short of more than 100 horses! It's available in both RWD and AWD paired with an 8-speed automatic tranny. A manual option is also available, however, only with an RWD setup. But the enthusiasm level on the manual transmission is still plagued and the 8-Speed Automatic is well-put-together and makes up for this numbness.

The 2021 Genesis G70 does the 0-60 MPH sprint in just 6.2 seconds. That is wholesome but with the V6 under its hood, the 2021 Genesis can accelerate from 0-60 MPH in an impressive 4.7 seconds which is way faster than most of its competitors. The quarter-mile timings for the 2021 G70 come in at 14.7 seconds, whereas the top speed has an electronic limiter set at 167 mph.

The RWD model is hoon to drive about and drifting them comes naturally to the driver, although it's better to be vigilant as the steering system, as mentioned above, is not the most proactive type. The V6 equipped models have the added advantage of having adaptive dampers which helps in actively tweaking the dynamics on the go for a more lively experience.

The 2021 Genesis G70 with the 2.0 liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine is very close to being the most powerful in the segment at 252 hp compared to the BMW 330i’s 255 hp. The BMW 3 Series is easily the best in the segment in terms of torque figures at 295 lb-ft, followed by 260 lb-ft from the Genesis and the Jag.

"It’s average in its class." - The Car Connection

The 2021 Genesis G70 does well in terms of fuel economy, at least when equipped with the 2.0L turbocharged pot. It churns out 22 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway which is commendable given the performance it puts down. But the 3.3L V6 unit is a gas guzzler as it returns just 17 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway and is not the option for the frugal consumers out there.

The fuel tank capacity is, however, quite large at 15.8 gallons, which gives it a combined range of 395 miles for the 2.0L pot, but unfortunately is the lowest range among the cars in the segment. But Genesis provides various driving modes that include Comfort, Eco, Sport, Smart, and Custom to provide for the best possible efficient layout as possible.

Again, it is the BMW 3 series that does the best in terms of fuel economy in this comparison outsmarting every car in this segment. The BMW 3 Series also has a comparatively larger fuel tank capacity, which helps it in giving the best range in the division with a combined range of about 468 miles.

"Genesis also keeps things classy by avoiding the urge to plaster faux carbon-fiber bits and a flat-bottom steering wheel into the cabin" - Caranddriver

For those who are skeptical that Genesis is not a luxury car manufacturer, having a good look at the interiors of the G70 is surely the answer. The interiors prime with high-quality materials with the luxury quotient on par with the Germans and British competitors. The seats are well contoured for maximized support and luxury comes in as the perfect companion. 

Ventilated front seats are now standard along with a heated steering wheel. But the second-row seating suffers notably due to its sloping roofline and higher floor height. With the 2021 model, Genesis continues with the 8-inch floating touchscreen unit as last year. It is stacked well with features and by itself is very intuitive and responsive, making it easy to use even when driving.

The infotainment system has a lot of features which include the likes of Bluetooth connectivity, 15 speaker Quantum Logic sound system, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto smartphone integration, a navigation system, and SiriusXM HD radio. Genesis also includes a suite of curated features that includes connectivity and safety ones and helps for a more connected experience.

Cargo space is at most, satisfactory with 10.5 cubic feet as the form factor and higher flooring steals it off a lot of volumes which is also reciprocated in the cabin. The tailgate is positioned higher and the opening is narrow because of which loading and unloading of cargo will be a bit cumbersome. The interior also speaks a similar story with very small door pockets.

The 2021 BMW 330i has the largest cargo space due to the clever use of space and a low cargo floor. Jaguar surprisingly comes in with an extra 2 cu. ft. over the G70 despite sharing similar dimensions as the layout is much better managed. Jaguar also suffers because of the sleek design language which the new XE flaunts. Genesis takes the crown in terms of front row seating but it's the Bimmer that prevails in the second row.

"The G70’s unruffled and soap-bar smooth, inside and out". - The Car Connection

The 2021 Genesis G70 continues to look very clean and elegant, which is always preferred by some buyer who wants understated elegance rather than aggressive striking design. The G70's underpinning is shared with the Kia Stinger, the Genesis is al as the concept for Genesis was a combined initiative from Hyundai and Kia.

The G70 also gets two very distinct sets of wheels, which can transform it from a "sporty appeal" to a "gentleman's approach". Other notable exterior features of the 2021 Genesis G70 are LED Headlamps and taillamps along with LED Fog Lamps, Striking Hexagonal Chrome Grille, Dual Chrome Tipped exhausts, 18-inch/ 19-inch wheels, and an Integrated Rear Diffuser.

The Lexus IS 300 pitches in as the car with a very striking design, whereas the Jaguar XE plays it very composed just like that of the 2021 Genesis G70. Both the G70 and XE are very close in terms of dimensions and even share the exact same wheelbase.

"According to the IIHS, it’s a very safe car." - The Car Connection

Safety has been a huge concern for Genesis when it makes its cars, and the G70 stays very true to it and has some strict safety norms that make it the best. If the claims and words from brochures or the Genesis brand do not make you trust about the G70's safety, what will do is the crash test ratings and scores of the Genesis G70. The 2020 Genesis G70 scored the maximum possible score of "Good" in almost all the parameters.

It also features in the Top Safety Pick + list of the IIHS, which is considered a great honor in the automotive industry. All this possible because of the clever packaging of Genesis along with lots and lots of features. The 2021 Genesis G70 is also very similar to the 2020 model, which means it packs lots of safety features and driver assistance technologies. some of the many safety features offered are:

• Automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection
•  Lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist

2021 Genesis G70 Vs Jaguar XE

The 2021 Jaguar XE is one of the most successful cars in the segment known for its exceptional driving dynamics.

But, the entry-level luxury sedan bunch is still inclined towards its value, and thus the 2021 Genesis G70 ticks more boxes than the Jag.

The 2021 Lexus IS 300 is a competent car in the segment with many "sharp"  things going for it under the belt.

2021 Genesis G70 Vs BMW 3 Series

The toughest rival and the unbeaten king of the segment, which almost every car enthusiast knows, is the BMW 3 series. And with the latest generation model, BMW has just made it even better with more standard features, helping it retain the crown. Genesis has surely impressed us in coming so fast so far in just 3 years, but it will take a lot more to topple this top-rated German.

"The Genesis G70 is a deft performer with a generous list of standard features, and it definitely merits a look from luxury sedan shoppers." - Cars.USnews

The 2021 Genesis G70 is a great entry-level luxury sedan and offers lots in the segment, which makes it quite a compelling buy in the segment. But it sadly does not excel in even one aspect, which is very important in a segment like this. It is why the 2021 BMW 3 series continues to be successful, and none has come close to beat its all-around performance.
